Git -- new repository setup

Note that the URL in my case is defined via ~/.ssh/config. I write it directly into .../[repo]/.git/config.

On server, as user git:

mkdir my_project.git
cd my_project.git
git --bare init

On client:

mkdir my_project
cd my_project
touch .gitignore
git init
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit"
git remote add origin youruser@yourserver.com:/path/to/my_project.git
git push origin master
